Erdogan confident President Obama will not use the term Genocide

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is confident President Barack Obama will not use the term Genocide in his Aril 24 address to US Armenian community.

"That would be my expectation, because to this day, no American leader has uttered that word, and I believe that President Obama will not,” Erdogan stated.

"No nation, no people has the right to impose the way it remembers history to another nation or people -- and Turkey does not try to do that," CNN cited him as saying.

“Like the genocide of the Armenians before it, and the genocide of the Cambodians which followed it — and like too many other such persecutions of too many other peoples — the lessons of the Holocaust must never be forgotten,” 40th US President Ronald Reagan said in his April 22, 1981 proclamation in commemoration of Victims of the Holocaust.
